Medical Malpractice
In North Carolina
And What To Do If
You Fall Victim
Medical malpractice is a complex situation in which a medical services provider
mistakingly and negligently causes further or worsened harm upon someone under
their care. This is a serious legal matter that is handled by experienced Charlotte
medical malpractice attorneys such as those at Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC who
are trained in dealing with incredibly complex cases.
The Current State Of Medical Malpractice In NC
There are numerous different types of medical malpractice, all of
which are present in the state of North Carolina. While these may
vary in severity, they are all normally quite costly for the victim of
medical malpractice. Additionally, many cases lead to serious injury
or even death, placing strenuous emotional and financial burdens
on you and your family.
Failure To Properly Treat
Failure to treat is when a healthcare physician
neglects to aid the patient with their
problems. They may fail to provide
instructions to a patient when taking care of
themselves at home or discharging them from
a hospital prematurely.
Surgical Errors
Sometimes, a surgeon may improperly
administer anesthesia or even perform surgery
on the wrong part of the body. Another
shockingly common example of a surgical
error is leaving tools inside of someone’s body.
These are all considered serious cases of
medical malpractice.
Wrongful Or Delayed Diagnosis
Misdiagnosis is an instance in which a
doctor or physician fails to properly
identify a problem that is wrong with a
patient. This may lead to many grave
circumstances in which the life of the
patient is at risk. Erroneous lab result
labels, failure to recognize medical
symptoms, and failure to refer a patient
to a specialist are all examples of this
form of medical malpractice.
Childbirth And Natal Injuries
Certain injuries that may occur to a baby or
mother during childbirth may be considered
preventable. In this case, the
hospital/healthcare facility would be liable for
not providing a sufficient standard of care.
What To Do If You Are Wrongfully Injured At The
Hospital
There are several steps that one should take following a case of medical malpractice.
● Document all of your experiences step by step in a journal or similar form of
note-taking channel.
● Stop seeing your doctor immediately and switch healthcare providers to avoid any
nefarious attempts to squash your claim.
● Seek medical care and follow the directions of your new physicians to remedy your
injuries.
